OUR FOCUS

The First Tee of Massachusetts is dedicated to promoting and preserving the integrity and values of the game of golf in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It aims to align itself with youth agencies and entities for the purpose of introducing children to the game of golf and its inherent values in an affordable and accessible manner.

  Road Tripping With The First Tee of Mass
This past week The First Tee of Massachusetts hit the road and visited two local golf courses – Dennis Highlands Golf Course and Westborough Country Club. As a way of bringing the teachings of the nationally-heralded junior golf program to Bay State youth located across the state, the staff of The First Tee of Massachusetts hosts junior golf clinics throughout the summer months.
  MGA Links Recognized by USLBA
For the second straight year, MGA Links at Mamantapett - the MGA-operated, 18-hole golf course located in Norton - was recognized nationally for its outstanding service to the community by being named the recipient of the 2009 Best of Norton Award.
  Trevor Bernier Earns National Scholarship
Trevor Bernier, a 16 year old from Taunton who participates in The First Tee of Massachusetts programming at MGA Links, was awarded one of four Pepsi Little People's/The First Tee of Great River scholarships. The scholarship includes complimentary entry fees and travel to and from the 2009 Pepsi Little People's Golf Championships, which will be contested on June 22-24 at five golf courses in the Quincy, IL, area.
  Perkins School Enjoys Visit to The Links
On May 12, MGA Links at Mamantapett opened its doors to the Perkins School for the Blind - based out of Watertown - for its annual day of golf and lunch. For the past five years, the Perkins School has been making an annual trek to MGA Links to experience the game of golf and its basics of putting and full swing. Throughout the day, the students from the Perkins School proved that the game of golf can be played by anyone, despite their physical limitations.
The First Tee of Massachusetts Shines
In early August, 12 youngsters representing The First Tee of Massachusetts competed in The Barclays Tri-Match at The Country Club in Brookline. Those golfers were joined by teams from The First Tee chapters of Metropolitan New York and Ireland.
  The First Tee of Massachusetts

The home base of The First Tee of Massachusetts is located at MGA Links at Mamantapett, an 18-hole, par 3 facility in Norton. Satellite facilities are currently open in Springfield and on the North Shore. Each year, more than 1,200 youth from 35 different Bay State communities participate in The First Tee curriculum at these three sites. Additional satellite facilities are set to open on Cape Cod and in the Boston and Worcester regions over the next few years.
